This Date in LA Kings History: April 4th

April 4, 2021 By Harry Ouzounian

From their humble beginning as one of the NHL’s Second Six expansion teams in 1967, through winning two Stanley Cups in three years and becoming a league powerhouse in 2012-14, the LA Kings have experienced a rich hockey history over the past 50-plus years. Below are some key franchise moments that occurred on this date.

Eddie Joyal scored the first playoff goal in #LAKings' history, and Terry Sawchuk made 30 saves in a 2-1 win against the Minnesota North Stars at The Fabulous Forum.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/nDpN7eC5Bk
